Exploring Workflow Data Fabric Credits

Workflow Data Fabric lets organizations connect, manage, and automate their data workflows across different systems, through various product solutions.

Workflow Data Fabric Credits measure the usage of Workflow Data Fabric subscriptions. Each credit represents a unit of consumption under a unified meter. For example, depending on the underlying product a credit can represent a record, an API call, a megabyte of data throughput, or a minute of runtime.
